From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?
I just prefer the looks of OnlyOffice, but I have heard people having localization problems with it. For my tiny use cases it has worked good so far.
isn't onlyoffice as a service only. can it be installed as just a local application?
No it's a local application like Libre. Can also be ran in the cloud.
Yep, you can download their "Desktop Editors"
thanks
They offer a SaaS to pay the bills, and a standalone desktop editor suite for us Linux users
Yes, for instance on the iPad with a keyboard I've issues typing Latin chars. Reported multiple times, still not fixed.
